Memes can be useful and mundane such as fables and stories, songs, urban legends and popular culture. They can also be dangerous when applied to disinformation or in order to illicit an emotional response as a means of control.
Absolutely tons of Memes on ATS boards! Vampires, Werewolves, Haunted Houses, Aliens, etc.

How you overcome them is letting go of your materialism and the big lie (that only this world and materials in it matter). You realize nothing in this world matters or can make you truly happy, nothing but a relationship with god. Not even having a wife can bring you that sort of happiness. Doing this releases you from all media, advertising, and gov control, as you start to make your own choices.

I so agree with you, thank you for the great post
I would like to add that as we love, and feel the love of God, we also learn to love others. Through this that happiness we have been given from the relationship we have with God, expands outward to those we know. What we realized we did not need, occurs, not by our need, but from the gift of love we share.
The Quiet War was quietly declared by the International Elite at a meeting held in 1954.

The strange name of this group is taken from the site of the first meeting in May, 1954-the Hotel de Bilderberg-in Oostebeek Holland.

Butler came forward in 1934 and informed Congress that a group of wealthy industrialists had plotted a military coup to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Then we ask our interviewee: "Since you say you are not a socialist but you feel the country is being socialized, why don't you do something about it?" His response will rim: "I'm only one person. Besides it's inevitable. You can't fight city hall, heh, heh, heh."
Don't you know that the boys down at city hall are doing everything they can to convince you of that? How effectively can you oppose anything if you feel your opposition is futile? Giving your opponent the idea that defending himself is futile is as old as warfare itself. In about 500 B. C. the Chinese war lord-philosopher Sun Tsu stated, "Supreme excellence in warfare lies in the destruction of your enemy's will to resist in advance of perceptible hostilities." We call it "psy war" or psychological warfare today.

Being a computer programmer makes me think about these things.
However, the one thing that really makes me uneasy, is wondering who is monitoring our conversations here and what special "list" will we be placed on (electronically) for discovering this information.
Is it a smile to hide the eye. Is it replacing the eye with the smile? Is it refuting the evil eye, with the benign smile?

I also wanted to say, communism or capitalism and equally bad in extremes. They also allow people to fight for a choice of one of two evils. People rail against communism as their industrialist rob them blind. Communist claim the social order of the people, as communist leaders condense and control society, against the will of the people.
Call someone a communist if he ask for government oversight of monopolistic businesses. Call someone a protector of the elite if he cuts spending for social programs and cuts taxes. Both are power helping those in power. The labels are used to keep the people watching the tennis match, look far left, look far right. Don't see whats right in front of you.
On a side note, what is the duality of the pyramid with a smile not an eye? It can be turned inside out, I find it interesting. Is it a smile to hide the eye. Is it replacing the eye with the smile? Is it refuting the evil eye, with the benign smile?

I found the picture on a blog which advocated the idea of using their own symbols against them. Instead of the cold, sterile all-seeing-eye, we have the marshmallow mushiness of the acid smilie and the 'happy conspiracy' meme; turning their methodology of pollution against them in a positive way.
